Mesterolone (1α-methyl-DHT; Proviron) is an oral androgen that uniquely achieves bioavailability without C17α-alkylation, resulting in no significant hepatotoxicity. Its primary pharmacological interest is extremely high SHBG affinity and anti-estrogenic activity. Research overview of mechanism, SHBG displacement, and male fertility applications.
